Camp Nou

Btw, why are the 2nd ring seats more expensive than 1st ring, that's unusual to me.

So apparently no concerts can be held at the stadium during the season, basically like it is now, which is in contrast to the direction Madrid went with their stadium.

The palau will be the main year round event space.

The stadium wants to be football based, that would not include a ban on concerts

Better view. Those are the best seats vip areas

You find that in a lot of stadiums to be fair. Generally the best view.

True but I think the VIP boxes are a little bit too high for ideal view. They are practictly on 3rd tier and anybody who watched a game from there knows it's not the best.

Overall think the Stadium is going to be a huge W.

No Concerts during season is the right call as there is no retractable pitch nor field. Meanwhile the toilet seat costs are going through the roof to make these aspects functional.

They will be between the second and third stand. It's still okay, no one will refuse to buy these tickets because they're positioned a bit higher than usual. For them to be lower, barca would have to rebuild the second stand as well and that would mean costs of probably 2 billion Euros overall and one more season at the montjuic.

 

[TheStig]

I get why it's there but it's not ideal. I think some people will decide to sit elsewhere because of that but I belive the VIP boxes should be a hit.

 

[Andresito]

They already started installing the seats?

 

[TheStig]

Yes, they started yesterday, March is close.

Progress continues. They already reached the ground floor in gol sur. More seats were installed and the second stand is practically fully painted.

In comparison exactly 1 year ago:

Stunning scenes

 

[malvolio]

True if big!

Second stand is not fully painted if I understand correctly what a stand is. Is treated mostly as painted

Progress is very impressive, talked a lot about that walking the dog with a neighbor earlier - boring my German friend about football which he could care less about but a physicist

The sheer logistics to manage a project of this magnitude considering the pace, precision and quality in such a short span of time (All aspects of stadium running in parallel that have dramatically different specifications) is mind boggling

It was hard for me to visualize even a couple of months ago but now the aura is building
